Care Guide

Tulip ‘Strawberry Romanoff’ is easy to grow and needs very little attention once planted.

Planting

• When to plant: Plant bulbs in autumn (September to November), before the ground freezes.

• Depth & spacing: Plant 10–15cm deep and 8–10cm apart.

• Grouping: For the best visual effect, plant in clusters of 10 or more.

• Containers: Use a multipurpose compost with added grit for drainage.

Watering & Feeding

• Water bulbs after planting to help establish roots.

• During spring, water only in dry conditions, particularly for containers.

• Add a slow-release bulb fertiliser in early spring as shoots emerge.

Aftercare

• Deadhead spent blooms but leave foliage to die back naturally.

• Do not tie or cut leaves early, as they feed the bulbs for the next year.

• Bulbs may be lifted after foliage dies down, dried, and replanted in autumn, though many gardeners treat tulips as annuals for best performance.

Protection

• Fully hardy in the ground, but potted tulips may benefit from shelter in severe frost.

• Protect from waterlogged soils, which can cause bulb rot.

• Watch for slugs or snails feeding on emerging shoots in early spring.
